My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. John 10:27-28(NIV).
Took these pictures last September while watching a sheep herding dog competition. There were SO many spiritual truths I saw. Here’s just a few. The enemy chasing them. The sheep stayed together for strength in numbers. And the sheep eventually finding safety! God is our Good Shepherd. His rod and staff comfort us. (Psalm 23:4) He watches over His sheep always! Even when the enemy prowls nearby!

(Thank you all for your sweet comments about my Ivy story. I appreciate all your love! Sorry I haven’t made it by blogs this week. I’ve been preparing a talk for a MOPS group next week. Please pray for God to use my message to help moms learn to become all that God made them to be! I’m passionate to get women to accept themselves(and not try to be like everyone else)and then live with personality, purpose and passion!)

What great photos of sheep! We are just like sheep. I remember reading a book a while ago on the 23rd Psalm. The author described sheep in such detail and how they act. Sometimes when they get on their backs, they can’t get up and the shepherd has to turn them over. How many times do we get in positions and can’t get back up without the Lord’s help?

I have been thinking about sheep and turtles. This week B was a sheepish turtle : ) I wrote about the Good Shepherd. Yes, He is with us as the enemy prowls nearby.
I love the pictures. May God give you the words to touch the hearts of many Moms Tiffany. He is raising you up to do mighty things because you listen to His voice. B

I love it when nature speaks out in a Godly way and God relates it to things that we can see tangible evidence of His existence. Praise God!

What a great example. Wow I’m having an ephiphany. I was saved last May and just realized that I haven’t seen any sheep since. They truly hold an entire new meaning. I just froze looking at this post.
I love how you get these life altering experiences when you blog hop and meet people who have no idea the impact they have on your live.
Love, peace and blessings.
Thanks so very much!
